Thank god you re-sent this, Ryan.  I, for one, think you're a hero to 
the list, and feel all the better today for reading what you sent.  I 
don't care what other people say, you're not a complete moron in my 
eyes!

Too bad we didn't play more than four games against both these teams 
-- we coulda racked up the wins and skated into the Finals, where we 
were sure to beat the Fakers in four games, eh?

Good for you, Ryan!  Why respond to Cecil when you can just call him 
a name?  (I like the way you call him a "lunatic" after you use 
another form of the word ("lunacy").   Some people might call that 
redundant.  Not me -- I think you just latched on to a word like you 
do to the whole Trade Antoine Now cause.  (By the way, I think we 
oughta trade Walker for Kiki Vandeweghe, a BLT on rye, and a copy of 
Ayn Rand's _The Fountainhead_.)  What's Cecil thinking, anyway, 
trying to respond with some dignity?  Trying to infect this List with 
his reasonableness and good humor.  The gall!  He even dares to be a 
blind Celtics fan, the heathen.

In conclusion, Ryan -- while others are calling you a straw man 
debater, or an obsessive reactionary, or a lazy researcher, or a 
crazed moron, or a guy with a hard-on for overblown statements, or a 
vile piece of detritus, _I'm_ not doing so.  Bless you, Ryan Lee!
